00:00Following a strong end to last season, Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough are strongly tipped as promotion candidates for the upcoming campaign.
00:07After a recent friendly against Gateshead, Carrick spoke about preparation so far.
00:12Yeah, as good as we can be at this moment. Once the season kicks off, it's a whole new ballgame.
00:18At the moment, we're kind of jostling to get everyone in a good place, keep them fit, get them fit, get everyone as a balanced group to a good level.
00:26I feel like we're doing that as the games tick by and we'll do that and progress that next week.
00:32Carrick was keen to praise his squad too, and spoke of morale and belief within the group.
00:38Yeah, for sure, it's a good group. It's a really good group and it's a strong group that look after each other and the boys that have come in have settled in really quickly, so that's a real positive.
00:49Middlesbrough will face strong competition from the likes of Leeds United, Burnley and Luton Town to win promotion,
00:55but under Carrick, they certainly have a strong chance.
